Curd cheese hearts recipe

information

Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus draining, Calories: 88 per portion

ingredients

225 g (8 oz) cottage cheese, sieved
artificial liquid sweetener, to taste
150 ml (1/4 pint) natural low-fat yogurt
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon brandy

FOR THE DECORATION
tiny fresh vine leaves (if available)
small clusters of black grapes

method

1. Mix the cottage cheese with a little sweetener to taste (if you do not have a very sweet tooth, this may not be necessary); blend in the yogurt.

2. Whisk the egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold lightly but thoroughly into the cheese mixture together with the brandy.

3. Line four small perforated heart-shaped moulds with clean muslin; spoon the cheese mixture into the lined moulds and cover with another layer of muslin.

4. Stand the moulds on a baking tray with a rim, and chill for 6-8 hours; the excess liquid should have drained away from the cheese, and the moulds should be firm enough to turn out.

5. Unmould the hearts and decorate with vine leaves and clusters of grapes.

If you do not have the traditional moulds, make holes in yogurt or cottage cheese cartons and use these in the same way.
